TEE BLOODY SHIRT.

Northern hate towards the south is not
dying OUT as rapidly as most people think.
Business interests and commingling OF
the people of both sections have done
much to cool the passions and remove
| the prejudices which existed after the
war, but no one need fietter himself with
the idea that perfect harmony and good
| feeling has been restored. When eu1
northern fellow citizens desire to sell us
their goods, there is no end to love feasts,
! hand shekings and fine speeches; when
dollars and cents are allowed to speak,
we are one grand people, undi-
vided, neighborly and loving, but
when these considerations sre removed
and when the true sentiments of the
northerner finds free expression, the old
feeling of hate, undying, uncompromis-
ing hate again appears in all its hideous
virulence and venom. John Sherman's
Springfield speech is applauded as much
to-day es it would have been in 1867. he
did not as many suppose give vent to his
own individual feelings. He has sounded
public sentiment and explored public
feeling and reflected only the sentiments
entertained and religiously cherished by
northern Republicans. The extrava-
giant utterances of Rev. DR.. Thompson,
the orator of the day, at Grants tomb,
have been taken up and applauded by the
truly loyal press. The reverend gentleman
whose mission here below is to preach the
universal brotherhood of man, peace and
good will and the rest of the bible, said:
awe hear strange sounds in these piping
times OF peace. Tread last week in New
York newspaper, speaking o. the Conted-
crates, that they were as sincere as we end
as patriotic. Why, when was younger,
and they met in the groves near my ma
tive town in Ohio, they were called trait
ors. And they were. As patriotic as
Grant? Never, never with my consent.
What did they do? They tried to destroy
free government on the North American
continent. 1t wss wicked, desperately
wicked.
'In these days of slush and gush let it
be remembered that one man intends to
teach MS children that the war for the
Union was right, eternally right, and that
the war against the Union was wrong,
eternally wrong, l will not be deferred
from my duty by references to the bloody
shirt. Call me northern Bourbon if
you like" These words were uttered
over the grave of the man whose death
enshrouded the American nation in gloom
and grief but g short time ago. Grant
wanted the memories of the war buried
forever and the south epplauded his
magnanimity. Northern orators have
been engaged in ghoulishly digging up
every buried bitterness and Haunting
with undated vigor the bloody shirt and
northern newspapers are spplauding
them. All is not peace and love.

a NORTHERN paper seeks to make fair
weather witch organized labor in the fol-
lowing msnner:
They do things differently down south, where
by the way, the good old Democratic party.
which so many of the labor reformers up this
way are ready to swear by, is in full power and
prosperity. They insist that negro workmen
shall accent just such wages as their employers
feel inclined to pay, and any attempt at organi-
zation for better pay or mutual protection, is
rewarded by assassination.
This is the diet on which RepubIicanism
has thrived and fattened so long that the
Radical stomach can digest no
other. While northern men and
women who are living in the south know
how independent the colored lsborer is
when one tries to have a cord of wood
cut or a lawn moved, the Democratic
party should rather rejoice that the noble
old Rips are resolved on fighting the next
battle with the bloody shirt. No better
fortune could befal Democracy than the
insane efforts of crazy politicians to turn
the country backward. Revolutions never
go that way and we are marching on to
peace and fraternity and conference. Let
the heather rage and Sherman imagine
vain thing; 1t is best for Democracy.

JUDGE WALKER of Travis has rendered
a decision adverse to the state in the
suit brought to recover on a contract
made by the late land board with the Day
Land and Cattle Company for the lease of
lands in Greer county. The ruling of the
Judge that the board had no authority to
lease lands in Greer county sustains the
objection of Attorney General Templeton
to the lease, who, as a member of the
board, opposed it. Time is vindicating
the position of Mr.. Templeton with refer
ence to the Greer county complications.

THE tale told in the local columns OF
THE GAZETTE yesterday of the two Penn
sylvania boys who came to Fort Worth to
kill Indians illustrates the density of the
ignorance prevailing in the north
as to Texas. These boys had
x-shooters and bowie-knives and
tomahawks. When arrested for carrying
arms they were dumbfounded; they could
not believe their own senses until the
cool shade of the calaboose hid them from
the sunshine and the numerous Co.
manches. Poor boys; they are 600 miles
from the western boundary of Texas, and
there has not been an Indian between
this city and that western border for
many years, and all lalong the route to
Ell Paso they will find law officers to ar
rest men for carrying deadly weapons or
for using abusive language calculated to
provoke a breach of the peace.

ASSISTED IVIYIGRATyON.

| In g recent letter to Mr.. West, the
British Minister at Washington, replying
to an inquiry as TO whether this govern
ment would permit the importation of
! families from Ireland at the expense of
the British government, Secretary Bayard
discusses briefly a question which prom
ises to become, if it is not already, the
most vital issue in the social and political
affairs of this country. Says Mr.. Bayard
in this letter: "The economic ard polit-
ical conditions of the United States have
always led the government to favor i'm
migration, and all persons seeking a new
field of effort and coming hither
with view to the improvement
Of their condition by the free exercise Of
their faculties have been cordially re-
Ceived. The same conditions have caused
other kinds OF immigration to be re-
garded as undesirable, and led to the
adoption by Congress of laws to prevent
the coming of paupers, criminals and GER
tain other enumerated classes. Such i'm
migration the economic and political con-
ditions Of the United States render pecu-
liarly unacceptable" 1t is thought that
this will be a prominent question before
the next Congress, and that public senti-
ment will force it to the adoption of
more stringent measures to keep out IN
desirable immigration than have ever
been seriously considered in Congress
before. The conservative element of the
country is waking up TO the fact tGat
American institutions are being seriously
endangered by the laxity of the require
ments for American citizenship. Com
munistic agitation and action in various
parts of the country have resulted in con-
vincing thinking men that something
more is required than the atmosphere Of
a free country to develop the true spirit
of freedom. The social complications
which present the most difficult
problem to be dealt with by tbs
statesmen of to-day are MAIDS Sfspaly
complex by the ignorance andethe pres
JUDGES of g large proportion of those in
VOWED in the settlement of these aFes-J
tions, dwerfed as they were in mental
and physical development by the training
of foreign despotisms. 1t is g singular
and significant fact that the victims of
foreign oppression who fly to these shores
for refuge seem to transfer to the gov
eminent which offers them exemption
from oppression and a hearty welcome
the hatred which they felt for their !
native rulers. Too often this finds vent |
in open hostility 20 the most venerated |
of this country-in-
situations which nave given per-
and strength to our re-
publican form of government, and with
out which there would now be no asylum
here for the haters of despotism Of every
sort.
The events of the last two or three
years have given warning that the time
has come for the settlement of the lmmi-
grafton problem. With 6 steady in
fiux from every European nation of
the classes mentioned by Secretary Bay
ard, every moment of delay involves in
creasing peril to the country. The COM
munistic element, which is drawn almost
solely from these classes, threatens soon

power. Should its ambition ever be real

people in that city to enforce the law and
protect the citizen. Our San Antonio
special of yesterday says;
The acts of the hoodlums here last night In
breaking up the public prohibition meeting is

none more so than by the leaders of the ants,
Two of those engaged in the rotton egging
were arrested and fined $50 each by the Re-
corder. One of them was employe of the
Lone Star Brewing Company, who has been
discharged, and the other was negro barber
San Antonio wipes out the disgrace
put upon it, and brewery employees and
negro BARRIERS in Texas have been taught
that free speech will be maintained in
Texas. The outrage ct San Antonio was
shameful one, but right promptly and
nobly has it been atoned.

THE anti-prohibltion newspapers are
giving the mob clearly to understand that
they are not advocates of lawlessness and
rufiianism. Such newspapers as the San
Antonio Express and the Times, the
Austin Statesman and the Dallas Times
do not mince their condemnation of in
tolerance and the denial of free speech,
and they do not propose to allow their
opposition to prohibition to be made
Identical with cowardly rufianism by
silent contemplation of assault on free
speech and personal liberty.

FRANKLIN j. MOSES, Ex-Governor of
South Carolina, has been pardoned out
of the Massachusetts penitentiary TO
which he was sentenced for three years
for forgery. The reason assigned by
Governor Ames was that Moses is in bad
health and cannot live long. A better
one doubtless is that he will be needed
to make some speeches on the necessity
of reform for the Republican party in the
next campaign, and it would be incon-
venient to have to send to the peniten-
tia-Y for him.
